Ghosts in the Attic lyrics

A shadow creeping in the night Blacker than darkness itself It darts in and out of sight Concentrating on its next victim Demons and all else may roam And forever remain a mystery Moving freely through the house For the deep echoes of eternity The child laying quiet in bed Unmoving, he stiffly remained His sheets pulled over his head His energy this spirit had drained The shadow shifted Now over the bed Spirits be damned Go back to the dead The tug of the covers While he tried to sleep Made him begin to cower And he began to weep Something about this tiny room It gave the soul a lingering chill And from this forsaken closet The darkness did always spill
